LOCOMOTIVE DRIVING-BOX CELLAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 360,437, dated April 5, 1887.

Application filed August 2, 1856. Serial No. 209523. lModcl.)

To all whom it 17mg; concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM J. HEALY, of Susquehanna, in the county of Susquehanna and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Locomotive Driving'BoX Cellars, of which the following is .a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is an elevation of a driving-box, showing a section through the axle and the driving-box cellar with my improvement applied. Fig. 2 shows,in three views, (elevation, side View, and plan,) my improvement as disconnected from the cellar.

The object of this invention is to prevent the introduction of dust, cinders, and other substances into the cellar.

In the drawings, Fig. 1, (t represents the driviugbox, e the axle, and b the box-cellar, all of which parts are of the usual construction.

d represents my crib, which is made in the form of a rectangular box, without top or bottom, and fitting loosely within the box-cellar. f represents the concave ends of the crib, which As the driving-box brass wears out, the cellar ceases to fit the axle and leaves a passage for the admission of foreign substances into the cellar, causing the cutting of the axle and hot running; but with my crib in the cellar 11o impurities can enter, as the spring (or springs) presses the crib close to the axle always.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The combination, with a driving-box cellar, of a crib having ends adapted to lit the bottom of the axle and spring-pressed against the same, as set forth.
